Talk:Notified body

/* External links */

Please consider the following changes: Erase: For instance, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) formulated a certain number of safety standards in its Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) and accredited TÜV Rheinland to provide certification services to guarantee product compliance to the defined safety regulations.[1]

Replace with: For instance TÜV Rheinland is an officially recognized Notified Body for the PED 97/23/EC and can therefore provide pressure vessel certification, inspection and testing services to guarantee product compliance to the defined safety regulations.

Reasons: The ASME does not point a Notified Body, but an Authorized Inspection Agency (AIA). ~~Esperanza_Palto~~(2014 March 12) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esperanza Palto (talk • contribs) 15:28, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Etymology

Does anybody know the etymology of the term "notified body"? I know it's the Euro term, but since it doesn't make much sense (notified OF WHAT?????), I wonder if anyone knows where this came from?--Achim Hering (talk) 17:27, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

My best guess is the term originates from the legal world. When I go to Google Books and search, the earliest references I can find are from the 1960s in legal texts.

• "...a notified body corporate," Government Gazette, 1962
• "... bargaining agreement providing that if either party notified body designated to implement arbitrations that no arbitrable issue was raised, such body could not proceed until court had finally determined whether there was arbitrable issue," from McKinney's Consolidated Laws of New York, 1963.

• Multiple references, Encyclopedia of European Community Law, Volumes 1-3, 1973

Perhaps someone with legal knowledge and access to a legal library can elaborate further. Lostraven (talk) 23:10, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

move to lowercase spelling!

Person or organisation

Having been a notified body certifier myself, the term notified body (NoBo) is often used interchangibly.

• The organisation that has been notified. This is the formal definition.
• Within a company often a separate certification department is established, sometimes this is being referred to as notified body.
• Lastly, colloquially the person doing the certification is called notified body, instead of the more correct notified body certifier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:1C01:4B02:D900:AAC4:6D2D:CBCE:C9E1 (talk) 03:33, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
